I have been extremely lucky to have three very fine teachers....Patricia Bellingham, Joe Villa, and, Neal Larrabee that have shaped my musical development in a positive direction. I also feel fortunate to have worked in two excellent community music schools, the Goshen School of Music and Fine Arts in Goshen, NY and the Neighborhood Music School in New Haven, Connecticut. I also have a degree in Educational Psychology and serve as child psychologist in Shelton, Connecticut. Students will benefit from my 20+ years experience teaching privately to all ages. I try to make lessons enjoyable, clear-cut, and comprehensive. For younger children, I may introduce rhythm sticks as appropriate. My goal is to offer a positive learning environment for both beginning and experienced pianists alike.

I maintain a very active performing career and a private voice studio on Long Island and in Manhattan. I was on the faculty of New York University in the Music and Music Professions Department for 5 years and was Music Director and Vocal Coach for an innovative new rap opera, "Odin" in Spring 2006 at the Fred Lowe Theatre.
I was also a coach in the Banff Centre's 'Voice through body and movement' workshop with international artist, Richard Armstrong and served two years as a voice instructor and guest lecturer at the Banff Centre for their young artist training program entitled 'Opera as Theatre'.
Throughout my career as a vocal coach, I have worked with many cabaret artists as musical director, arranger and accompanist.

I have over 16 years of teaching private piano, I bring my passion for classical, Christian, gospel and old fashioned good music to you. I have worked from the elementary school level to the college level. Therefore I have patience for a beginning student to the young at heart student. I make music fun and easy to learn by simplifying goals and techniques.

Singing and playing piano have always been a huge part of my life. I love to perform everything from opera and sacred music to music theater and jazz, and have been performing since I was very young. I earned my Bachelor’s of Music in Vocal performance DePaul University School of Music in Chicago. It was there that I fell in love with teaching, when I taught my first student as part of a course in vocal pedagogy. I have had several excellent and truly inspiring teachers myself with different teaching styles, and so I have a variety of approaches to drawn upon in helping my own students. Vocal technique was not something that came easy for me, and was something I had to really work on. This work on technique has made me a stronger teacher. I know how many different approaches it can take to make something click, so I use the diverse experiences of my own studies to find what works best for that student now. While I am classically trained, I am comfortable teaching all types of...

Hello there!
My name is Colin. I'm here to suit your musical education needs! Some information about my own musical background may help you understand why I am the best teacher to suit your personal style.
I'm currently 22 and have completed a Bachelors of Science in Music and Sound Recording from the University of New Haven. My primary musical focus at school was Voice, as well as songwriting. My vocal coach during school very much fostered my own unique singing style highlighting more contemporary genres of music. (Pop and Rock) She, as well as my guitar teacher, both focused on my own personal goals with music, rather than radiating their own agenda onto me. I have had several teachers in the past try to force me to sing "classically," even though that's not what I wanted to do. This has been my main influence as a music teacher, and music theory tutor, to provide a tailored curriculum to each individual's exclusive goals. As far as my own music career is concerned, I have...

I am a teacher with extensive classical music training and music pedagogy. All my musical knowledge and expertise was attained in Eastern Europe. I play and teach piano, upright bass, bass guitar and a range of other instruments. Over the years I taught basic piano, the beginner violin, viola, cello as well as a variety of school instruments such as recorder and xylophone. I also teach advanced theory, harmony and basics of composition required for music colleges.

I am energetic, experienced and creative with a proven ability to get the very best out of pupils. I am an expert at identifying the appropriate resources required for a subject matter and then ensuring that they are used efficiently, effectively and safely always keen on building a strong relationship with my students.

The teaching begins with identifying student's musical needs, goals and tastes. For those wishing to pursue more of a classical approach to music, there are proven methods to accomplish...

I started playing music in the fourth grade. My first instrument was the
cello. In fifth grade I changed my instrument to the violin and found that it was definately something I wanted to persue. A year later I started
on the piano, and unlike the violin, I found that it was easier to learn it on my own. Because of that, my knowledge on the piano has been mostly self taught. I have been playing both instruments going on 16 years, and even though I did
play other instruments, nothing took center stage like the
piano and violin.

Although I have never played in the Boston Philharmonic or London
Symphony Orchestra's, nor have written or composed any CD's, doesn't
mean I don't have a passion for what I do. To me, music isn't just about playing in a large orchestra or being famous. It is about recognizing the many different styles from cultures all over the world. It is the ability to appreciate the sounds the reverberate across the spectrum, the ability to mix and match in...

STUDYING WITH ME:

Learning guitar should be interesting and fun! While we're studying all the different aspects of the instrument, you'll also be learning how to play your favorite songs! I approach each student as an individual and structure their lessons according to what I determine they need, as well as what they are interested in musically. I concentrate on many different areas; ear training, theory, playing technique, improvisation, various styles of music, and, the physics of the guitar. Understanding how the instrument works is important in my opinion. My long term goal is to teach a student how they can teach themselves down the line. Understanding why you’re playing something is just important as knowing how to play it. I aim to give a student rich and well rounded one-on-one time!
